Abstract
The normal ionic concentration of haemolymph, cuticular secretion (wax), and rae of mortality in different stages of tick, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum Koch, 1844, and the alternations displayed by them to acclimatize the disturbed condition in response to the Silica (as an physical agent); Dimilin (anti-cuticulin substance), Kabat (growth regulator); and Ekalux and Sumiciddin (as an Acaricides) were investigated during present study. Such experiment on different stages of tick Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum with different treatments indicated the potentiality of this tick to attain acclimatization easily by altering its basic homeostasis. In such tick nine biochemical characteristics were studied as a base for normal homeostasis and they were correleated with the rate of mortality in response to various treatments.
